What is the legal limit to drink and drive ,ie how many pints of lager (UK)?

I just need to know how many 'pints' of ordinary lager is legal to consume prior to driving, how many is illegal, based on a man of average built drinking 2.5 pints of Tennants lager in a pub then he drives is he over the limit? if not, what IS the 'limit' as its so vague I don't know how many is too many, but I would like to know. Thanks

Answer (by champer):
No-one can give you a "pints" answer, it's impossible to do, which is why the answers you've sought in the past have been vague. The only way to be definitely safe is not to drink at all when you're driving. Sorry, but that's it. And that's from a bloke who would quite happily sink many pints in the past, albeit not when driving - we did the "nominated driver" thing back before the term had even been thought of. And we never spiked the driver's drink, we were true mates and looked out for each other . . .

usa visa!! will i get refused a visa to travel to las vegas.. i have 4 drunk & disordelys and a drink driving.?

could someone help me, i am travelling to las vegas shortly to get married and have decided not to do the visa waiver as i have 4 drunk and disordely charges and a drink driving offence all from 6-7 years ago.. could anyone tell me what my chances are of getting approved for a visa as its stressing me out as 20+ family and friends are travelling aswell and have already paid money for hotel - flights.... any help or advice much appreciated sorry this is a holiday for ten days..

Answer (by NOLA guy):
You can still use the Visa Waiver Program. "Drunk and disorderly" and DWI are NOT disqualifying offenses - even if you have more than one. Complete the online form and click No where it asks the applicant if they have ever been arrested for or convicted of a crime involving "moral turpitude", illegal drugs, or a felony crime (assuming No is correct).. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/i94_samples.xml Registering is free until September 8, 2010 and US$14 after that, you accomplish it online, you don't need the details of your trip, and the confirmation is valid for multiple trips to the USA over two (2) years so don't wait until the last minute. Print the confirmation - or at least record the number - and keep the information with your passport. Check with your health insurance to find out if it covers you in the USA. If yes then take proof of coverage with you. If no or not sure then get trip medical insurance, which is cheap and sold by airlines & travel agents. I hope you have a good trip!

can a person who has got drink driving conviction work in health care sector?

hi . my fried was caught for drink driving. he had to appear to court and paid a penalty. he also got his licience revoked. he is working as a nurse in an hospital. will this cost him his job or will it be a problem when he tries to find another job ?

Answer (by WHO am I?):
I think it would only be a problem if your friend needed to drive to do his job. For instance, if he drives an ambulance, or if he's a (mobile) paramedic and obviously needs to drive. And even then, if he is a good worker, his employers would be reluctant to lose him, and they may redeploy him in a job that would not require driving, until the ban has been lifted.

hi,how many glass of whisky-coca-cola can I drink and drive?whats the limit?thx?

Answer (by PHIL B):
The answer is that there is really no way of knowing. Alcohol affects each individual in different ways. I am a qualified Breathalyser instructor for my company, and just to see what happened I took a unit home to play with for the weekend. I actually drink quite alot, and surprisingly, my favourite is Scotch and Coke. I got home, picked up the mail, and then poured a drink which lasted only a few minutes (10 mins maybe). The drink was hand poured and not measured so was easily a double if not treble. I left it 15 minutes and then did a quick test. The result? Well into the UK drink drive limit, and the result got even worse after a second test. I felt perfectly OK otherwise, and there were no indications to myself that I was unfit to drive. I continued playing with it overnight, and come breakfast, after a heavy night on the sauce, not only did I feel immensely fuzzy, but was still over the limit. So, there is no way anyone can say how much you can drink. The easy option is to leave the car at home and then have what you like. if you do decide to drink and drive, then there is no way to cheat the breathalyser. I can't, and like I say, I teach how to use it.

can i go to the uk with a drinking and driving felony?

Answer (by RMP):
Yes you can, but be sure to declare the felony on your Visa Application. If you don't you may get to Britain only to be intercepted by British Customs Officers, interviewed, detained & sent back home with a 5 year ban from Britain. So yeah, no problems as long as you declare your felony.
